Hi guys
I have recently received an email from the Department Chair congratulate me on my application and he said he would recommend me to the Graduate Division for the official admission letter. Three weeks has passed and I haven't gotten any news/emails/phone call from that school.
Is it possible that the Graduate Division would turn down the Department's recommendation and reject my admission?
How often would they do that?
